At the end of the day guys, something is in the offing for sure. There is much evidence to support the theory that GB will indeed take over at LGW but it may or may not affect the BA employees as they will be offered jobs at LHR when T5 opens next year. If you look at what is going on, GB have gently moved away from BA engineering, BA baggage loading and it looks like the check in is moving towards an independent also so when the announcement is made (by BA) that LGW is suspending operations as a mainline base there will be no union involvement because there will be no BA EOG! This will make things easy for Willie and also for GB who will carry on as now but with an expanded fleet (there is already rumours that there are 4 321s coming in 2007 instead of 1).
I think the product will be a low cost model with bases in LGW, BRI, MAN and EMA (which is the base structure currently at GB anyway). The ground staff at BRI know the routes are being expanded and when you consider this is a BA Connect service it seems a bit strange!!
All of the above is indeed speculation but based on the facts,work it out for yourself but those at EOG now, dont say you weren't warned
